Outdoor window frame colour and front door
Comments (1)Hi Nelly Try to get the picture to load, we have seen grey timber with Tudor houses which has looked quite smart but it depends on the house and you need to consider the other details, if you have mock beams will you paint these too or could you render over them? do you want to keep the Tudor theme or not?...See MoreWhat colour bifolds/windows for red brick extension?
Comments (29)I love soft blues and greens going towards the grey unsaturated type colours with red brick. If the red is more towards an orange then the greens work better and if more towards the pink/purple then blues look great. I'm getting so bored of dark grey doors and windows! Be brave and use some colour!...See MoreWhat colour front door with Rosewood windows?
Comments (26)Dear Gail as far as I can tell from your photo the existing rosewood looks very attractive, indeed it is probably the most attractive rosewood house I have ever seen. In my opinion It is planting that will make the biggest difference, even, as people have already proposed, just adding some planters - however take your time in choosing the right planters/shrubs and plants. Lechuza (www.lechuza.co.uk/) do self watering/sub irrigation planters - nothing worse to bring down the even most attractive house than dried out uncared for planters/garden. Mona Pantsava (available amongst others at www.waterirrigation.co.uk - purchased my water timers here and received great customer care with one faulty timer after a year from purchase) do a range of sub irrigation tanks for standard planters and pots that are not so expensive as lechuza and open up wider choice but you will have to put extra effort in to make your own up (www.albopepper.com explains concept of sub irrigation very well) and give thought to weather resistance. Or look at sprinkler/drip feed watering system. I definitely think improving the planting will make the biggest difference. I hope it all comes together for you....See MoreColoured Front Door with Golden Oak Windows
Comments (7)I’m with Sonia. I think the oak window frames will always be jarring as they are not in keeping with a period property. I would paint them in a heritage white paint. Sonia has posted great front door pics but these fab colours would not work with the golden oak. I’m not at all sure what would be compatible with them, maybe a stronger colour to balance the very strong statement that the oak frames make e.g. deep green, navy blue or black. Basically, you need to decide what look you are going for: either a return to the period style or a 1980s revamp look. If you are keeping the frames, it makes sense to leave the door frame as well and just paint the door. However, I do hope that you will be inspired by the pics Sonia posted as they are delightful homes and creating a similar look would definitely add value to your Victorian terrace house....See MoreWood Window Alliance
